Long format snow course observations, meteorological sensor observations,locations, and associated metadata for Mica Creek, Idaho

Metadata Updated: June 15, 2024

UI_Mica_Location: Location metadata and meteorological and snow depth observations from met towers in the Mica Creek Experimental Forest. Data were collected at 7 different station sites at approximately half-hour intervals for water years 2003-2006, with discontinuous records due to equipment malfunction or damage. Stations were located within different forest harvest treatment sections, applied to the watershed in approximately 2001, including clear-cut harvest, partial harvest, and control sections (both second growth and old growth control forests). Site Data Citation for full description of the field campaign and sites. UI_Mica_met: Metadata and associated snow depth and SWE observations from 14 manual snow courses taken in the Mica Creek Experimental Watershed, as part of a University of Idaho project (PI: Tim Link). Snow courses were performed during in WY 2006, approximately monthly from February to March, and approximately bi-weekly from March to May. Snow course transects were 20 m long, with snow depth measurements taken approximately every 2m, and SWE approximately every 4m with a Federal Snow Sampler. Transects were located in different forest harvest treatment sections, applied to the watershed in around 2001, including clear-cut harvest, partial harvest, and control sections (both second growth and old growth control forests). Note that the partial cut canopy also includes skid trails, and some of the snow courses traverse the skid trails which tend to act more like canopy gaps than partial canopy (see Du et al 2013, Hydrological Processes, for discussion of this). Location attributes such as elevation, slope, and aspect, for snow courses taken from Jason Hubbart's personal files, Hubbart_snow_course.xls, with his permission; note that these values may differ from those extracted from a digital elevation model based on the coordinates of the transect. Coordinates represent the middle of the 20 m snow course, and transects were completed parallel to slope (personal communication with Jason Hubbart, 2015). UI_Mica_SnowCourses: Location Metadata for manual snow course observations and meteorological sensors. Location attributes, such as elevation, slope, and aspect, for snow courses taken from Jason Hubbart's personal files, Hubbart_snow_course.xls, with his permission; note that these values may differ from those extracted from a digital elevation model based on the coordinates of the transect. Snow course coordinates represent the middle of the 20 m snow course, and transects were completed parallel to slope (personal communication with Jason Hubbart, 2015).
